Dairy farmers cheesed off with CETA BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

“That’s not from one or two people; that’s from 30 or 40,” he said. “The PRTC facility was fantastic because everything’s on site, and the staff here was excellent.” For the Chilliwack and Kent Harrison SARs, some of the busiest teams in the country, the exposure that came with hosting the event was invaluable.

hilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl is downplaying concerns of dairy farmers worried about a glut of foreign product now that Canada has signed a new trade agreement with the European Union (EU). Strahl hailed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the EU as a boon to Canada’s exporters and a benefit to consumers. “This is great news for workers and families in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon,” Strahl said in a press release issued Friday. “Increased trade will allow businesses to hire more workers and provide consumers with greater choices and lower prices.” Of some concern in the deal is what it will mean for dairy farmers, specifically small and local Canadian cheesemakers. The Dairy Farmers of Canada expressed anger and disappointment with the deal “as the reality is that Canada would lose its small, artisan and local cheese makers and a world-leading industry with top quality products—within a short time frame.” Strahl, however, emphasized that supply management for dairy has been maintained and the deal will in fact help local cheese makers who will get access to 500 million more customers. As part of the deal, the EU will be allowed to export an additional

abre, a two-year-old Siberian husky, that was found severely beaten after going missing from a Chilliwack home, was discharged from veterinary care on Sunday. “Sabre’s home and he’s super happy to be home, which is amazing,” said owner Lisa-Marie Shymkowich. Shymkowich, her husband and their two children were in the backyard with Sabre when he went missing on Oct. 15. A gate that is never used and barricaded with cinderblocks was found open, with the blocks toppled over. “It only took a second for Sabre to go missing,” Shymkowich said. The couple searched for several hours, but came up empty handed. The next morning they heard a vehicle pull up to their home and abruptly drive away. Shymkowich was horrified and shocked to find Sabre on their driveway, bloody and severely wounded. Dr. Kuldeep Chahal, Cheam View Veterinary Hospital veterinarian,

A local family is urging the public to be vigilant after their dog went missing and returned the next morning severely injured and beaten. told the Times that Sabre sustained cuts and blunt force injuries all over his body and very sharp injuries to his left paw, which left the bone exposed. His right testicle was rup-

tured and hanging from outside of the scrotum. Chahal said he could not determine the exact cause of Sabre’s injuries, but stated they were not caused

by a fight with another animal due to the absence of bite marks, and did not seem to be from an accident. “There was not like any kind of bone fracture that looked like an accident,” he said. “These injuries are really different injuries.” Sabre was discharged on Oct. 20, after being in veterinary care for four days, which included several hours of surgery to suture lacerations on his body and intravenous fluid treatment for liver complications. Due to the nature of Sabre’s injuries, the family believes their dog was brutally beaten by a person and are currently canvassing local neighbourhoods to find answers and bring the assailant to justice. Although relieved Sabre is home safe and sound, Shymkowich is fearful his attacker is still on the streets. “We’re more than diligent with our animals,” she said. “Our cats are kept inside . . . and we’re with our dogs at all times.” The family is also grateful to the public, after receiving an outpouring of support from the community and donations towards Sabre’s vet bills.

A young spectator comes across a mangled mannequin at SARScene 2013 at the Pacific Region Training Centre in Chilliwack Saturday. The mannequin was part of a bear mauling first aid simulation. SARS, from page 1 “Funding is huge. Our funding comes through gaming grants and money from the province,” Chilliwack SAR vice-president Kevin Dirks told the Times. “To put this on in our own backyard, helps us with our cause, puts the awareness out.” For all search and rescue organizations, the conference is a chance to make connections and share ideas. The Chilliwack team might have more know-how when it comes to rescues in dense brush, for example, Dirks said, while a team from Manitoba might be able to teach a Fraser Valley team a thing or two about cold weather rescues. Chilliwack SAR also got a chance to show

Connecting off its considerable skill at using helicopters to pluck hapless hikers out of trouble during a HETS (Helicopter External Tranport System) demonstration Saturday. “That’s kind of our showcase,” Dirks said. “We have a very proficient helicopter rescue team.” Even with all the activity at PRTC over the weekend, however, local search and rescue volunteers never let down their guard, Dirks said. “With the good weather that we’ve had, we were prepared to go at a moment’s notice.”

Co-op status for Food Matters BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

ore doors have opened for Food Matters Chilliwack, after the province approved its certificate of incorporation earlier this month, allowing the local organization to operate as a co-op. Under the Co-operative Association Act, the grassroots organization, which has a focus on food security awareness education and programs in Chilliwack, will now be called Food Matters Chilliwack Food Promotion Co-op. “We’ve been able to do so much without a formal structure and with very little money, we can only imagine what we’ll be able to do now that we can apply for funding and officially partner with other organizations,” said Chelsea Cromarty, chair of the Food Matters Chilliwack Steering Committee, in a press release. A share in the co-op is $10, which provides

co-op membership, the power to vote and run for board of directors and other offers that are restricted to members only. Food Matters Chilliwack started in 2010 as a University of the Fraser Valley social work practicum project in partnership with the local Fraser Health healthy living community specialist. The project garnered community attention and support and has been operating ever since, facilitating local fruit and vegetable gleaning services and a Plant a Row, Grow a Row campaign that has local residents grow food for the Salvation Army food bank. Over the years, the organization has shared tens of thousands of pounds of fresh produce to people in need in the community. The first general meeting is on Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Sardis Library, located at 5819 Tyson Rd. ◗ For more information, visit foodmatterschilliwack.com.

Third time’s a charm? BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

fter twice having a liquor licence amendment application rejected by Chilliwack city council, Chances casino is trying again. A public hearing will be held Nov. 5 to discuss Chilliwack Chances request for a liquor primary licence. The casino currently has a food primary licence and applied earlier this year to

amend it to allow for dancing in the dining area and outdoor patio of the restaurant. Owners of a number of local pubs expressed opposition to the application, which was defeated by council 4-2. Great Canadian Gaming, which owns the casino, has said all along it eventually intended to apply for the liquor primary licence. ◗ The hearing will be at city hall on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.

“ﬁlling prescriptions is just a small part of what we do” Sharron Ho/TIMES

Fantasy Farms owner, Gary Moran, stands beside the executioner, one of the main features of the Reapers Haunted Attraction.

Reapers searching for king & queen BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

hilliwack’s spookiest family is on the lookout for a psychobilly king and queen. The Moran family has been scaring the wits out of people since 1994 on their East Chilliwack property, Fantasy Farms, with two haunts that rivals some of the best attractions in the Lower Mainland. “For a small family-run operation, we’re rivaling the guys with the big budgets,” said Gary Moran, Fantasy Farms owner and haunt mastermind. The Reapers Haunted Attraction is a medieval realm devoid of all time-period niceties like knightly valour and chivalry. The walkthrough attraction begins with a creepy crypt, which is followed by darkened hallways, executioner’s lair and witch’s kitchen. Those who dare, move on to join loose ghouls, zombies and psycho clowns in the Maze of Terror. “People have been following us since we started and a lot of people come at least half a dozen times a season,” Moran said. “They just love it, so they come over and over.” Through an online Facebook contest, the guy and gal who pull off the best psychobilly costume—best described as zombie pin-up fashion—will be crowned reaper royalty. Along with gifts, the winners will be given admissions

tickets to different events, concerts and fairs throughout the season. “We’re hoping to, with their consent, get them tickets to different events throughout the season so that they can represent Reapers,” Moran said. “They’re kind of like Reaper’s mascots, I guess.” The family’s love of Halloween dates back to Moran’s childhood. Moran recalled a time when his uncle, who lost his arm in a motorcycling accident, made light of his injury and transformed it into a grisly mess of shredded, vein-like material, complete with a meat cleaver driven into the wound. “It looked like he’d just been butchered, and he was our candy giver,” Moran laughed. “We heard so much screaming from our house, that we actually cut our trick-or-treating short so we could go back and hide and watch all the antics.” Moran and wife Lisa, who have been married for 33 years, have been at the helm of the operation since the haunt’s inception. He foresees years of continued success, but probably in the more than capable hands of their two adult sons, Dave and James. To enter the contest, which closes on Oct. 27, visit Fantasy Farms at 9423 Gibson Rd. to have your photo taken and uploaded on to the contest Facebook page.

Chilliwack teens trade treats for food on Oct. 31 BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

hilliwack students are banding together this Halloween and co-ordinating a single door-to-door food collection effort. Instead of hosting their own Halloween for Hunger initiatives, six local schools and the Interact Club, the youth group of the Rotary Club, have teamed up for the first time and set a goal to collect 5,000 non-perishable food items. Nadia Van Den Berg, a Grade 12 student at Sardis secondary school and Interact Club president, said students divvied up the Chilliwack area, assigning one area to each person to prevent overlap. “We have united all the schools in Chilliwack who had previously gone out on their own,” Van Den Berg said. “We can be more successful [because] everybody has their own assigned area. It works better, or we hope that it will.” Halloween for Hunger is an initiative of Free the Children, an international charity that mobilizes youth to create positive change in their communities. The event takes an altruisCETA, from page 1 17,700 tonnes of cheese to Canada annually, something the Dairy Farmers of Canada said will kill local business. Strahl, however, said the amount is actually small. The new quota represents just 4.2 per cent of the Canadian cheese market, he said, adding that cheese consumption is on the rise and the imports will be absorbed by the market. Overall, Strahl emphasized the government’s

tic twist on trick-or-treating. “It’s been an event in Chilliwack about the past five or six years, where students go out on Halloween night and they collect canned food instead of candy,” Van Den Berg said. She spearheaded the Halloween for Hunger initiative at Mount Slesse middle school five years ago, while a student, and has been participating ever since. “I think it’s an awesome opportunity for us to use this event to do something good and help people in the community,” Van Den Berg said. “The only way to make a real impact is if you start at home and then work your way out.” Last year, a group of about 40 students from Sardis secondary school managed to collect a whopping 2,500 food items for local non-profit organizations. “I think it’s great for youth to get involved and to see what a difference that we can make,” Van Den Berg said. Students will be visiting the following communities: Garrison, Sardis Park, Canterbury and Peach Road area, Tyson, Promontory, Little Mountain,Yarrow and Chilliwack Mountain.

America has self-destruct option

think the Americans will soon be coming around to their neighbours, asking if they can borrow a cup of common sense. As I write this, the American government is being coaxed back into life like a rusted-out 1974 Buick, one that will only keep going if you press down on the gas just so, and get your buddies to give it a push start. And off it goes in a cloud of blue smoke to its next inevitable breakdown. Judging by the timelines on the debt ceiling that were being tossed around last Wednesday, that should be around February. We should not be too smug about this state of affairs. Our own government has nearly come unglued several times in our history, as during the King-Byng affair, and a book about our various constitutional crises and attempted secession attempts would be thick enough to use as a cudgel. We should remember that the problem with the American government isn’t Americans. Sure, they have a lot of idiots down there, but no more than any other country. Their problems are structural. The worst problem the Americans have is the debt ceiling, which is entirely stupid and self-imposed. Like the ability to shut down the bureaucracy, this is a self-destruct system that American politicians in days gone by deliberately installed. And like big red buttons everywhere, their leaders can barely stop

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest themselves from jamming it down just to see what happens. Secondly, there’s the ability to shut down the government. The United States is probably not the only country in which lawmakers have to approve wages or they just flat-out don’t get paid, but I’m not aware of any others. This means that any time lawmakers get testy (because the president, senate, or house of representatives can all trigger a shutdown) they can take their ball and go home. I have read some of the reasons why the Americans set up their government this way, and it seems to have been due to a series of kludges, one fix piled on another, in a way that created a worse problem than they had to begin with. Compare this to Belgium, which in 2010 and 2011 went 549 days without a government. Their parliamentary elections produced a weird setup in which a separatist party won more seats than anyone else, and linguistic and regional differences were tearing the country apart. (Canadians are among the only people on the planet who can

both sympathize and understand.) Yet the country’s bureaucracy continued to function. Obviously, it wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t catastrophic, either. The Americans’ final problem is one we’re more familiar with —gerrymandering. We’ve mostly gotten away from it by appointing independent committees of retired judges to draw our electoral boundaries. In the U.S., the lawmakers draw them, with blatant partisan interest. This means they have created a vast number of safe Democrat or Republican seats, which means that the real choice is not between two parties, but between the sane wing and crazy wing of each party. A lot of congressional districts have been picking the crazy option for some time, increasing distrust, polarization, and extremism, especially on the Republican side of the aisle. There’s a lot to fix, and we’d better hope they can repair at least some of these problems. If they can’t, then eventually someone will push that big red button, and that will do bad things to the world’s economy. Not just recession bad, but potentially Mad Max, wearing hockey padding as armour, eating dogfood, and scouring the wasteland for gasoline bad. I’d like to think the Americans won’t let that happen, but that big red button is looking pretty shiny... ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the LangleyAdvance.

ardine seiner boats are reportedly coming home early after their annual fishing season netted nothing in several months of looking. While those who share close quarters with sardine eaters might not be mourning the disappearance of the odorous fish, their absence is worrying. This comes less than a month after local oceanographers began scratching their heads about a mass die-off of sea stars in Howe Sound off West Vancouver. The oceans and the webs of life they support are unimaginably complex and even the most accomplished marine scientists will tell you we only know a fraction of what there is to know about the deep blue. It is entirely possible that these are innocuous, naturally occurring phenomena, but our instincts—or guilty consciences—tell us otherwise. What a catastrophe it would be if the Pacific “dead zone” off the California coast were to extend north to B.C. waters. A healthy future for the Earth’s oceans likely depends on the outcome of a tugof-war between conservation efforts and industry. At best, you could say we are giving the oceans mixed messages. We’re willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up our local wastewater output into Burrard Inlet, but at the same time we’re minimizing or ignoring the human contribution to climate change. Science is only just beginning to measure the effect that temperature change in the world’s oceans has on weather patterns. But because our knowledge is incomplete, the modelling based on it is easy to dismiss by, say, a government more focused on the extraction and sale of carbon fuels.

We too share in the wonder

Editor: What is the first thought that comes to mind when you read the words “battle” and “developer” in a local newspaper story (“Dogwood housing approved,” Times, Oct. 17)? We thought so. Your reader is painted a picture of warring parties fighting for individual rights at any cost. Here’s the rest of the story. There are several responsibilities to be weighed and considered at every zoning hearing. They include the interest of current residents, the interest of future residents in the homes that are planned to be built, and responsibility to ensure that investments in land in the City of Chilliwack, when conducted within the rules and laws enacted by our various governments, are protected. Sometimes this can all get a little lost in any given emotion-packed public hearing. And what of the owls and the fish? We too share in the wonder and the awe . . . at the incredible design and beauty of salmon spawning and owls roosting (except perhaps the smell of salmon rotting). How much more so when we consider the incredible design and potential in each one of our citizens. It will always be a worthy debate to consider where the homes for our future citizens should be built. We, our employees, trades and suppliers, also live in this community together with our families, and we too appreciate such local amenities as the Vedder River Rotary Trail. Community-based initiatives and projects like this provide us all as a community the opportunity to participate in enhancing and interacting with wildlife and natural beauty as it was intended for us to enjoy. We are thankful for the opportunity to build fine residential communities as we share our city with more and more residents and the potential that they bring. And we are thankful for leadership and staff at city hall who deal with these issues each and every day. We all need to hear “good job, well done” from time to time, so there’s a fine group

Driven by greed at what cost? Editor: To the Honourable Mary Polak. Re: The current power grabs over garbage. Dear Madam: The huge amounts of methane and other landfill gases that have for years gone to waste, with untold damage to the environment, should by now be captured and converted to useful energy, as is clear from the Ministry directive reflected in Cache Creek’s Landfill operating permit, Section 3.2.1, which states: “On or before June 30, 2013, energy potential from the landfill gas shall be recovered in accordance with the plan approved under section 3.2.2.” Nothing of the sort is currently happening at the landill site. Wastech, clearly, is not abiding by the terms of the permit. This is by no means the only way in which Belkorp/Wastech— and all those who promote similar methods of waste disposal—are bad news for the environment. There is also this: that desperate as they are to keep the Wastech facility in Cache Creek alive, the Wastech proponents are now doing all they can to obtain permission to allow the burial of animal carcasses into the Cache Creek facility, something that— given the danger of releasing pathogens into the groundwater—has until now been

strictly prohibited. And the most recent insult on the part of Belkorp/ Wastech (and affiliates) to all those who care for the environment is to be found in the Oct. 12 Vancouver Sun article (“High stakes in Metro Vancouver garbage business”), in which we learn that Belkorp/Wastech wants to put an end to one of the most promising and environmentally friendly practices of all: sorting recyclables at the source. Surely the Ministry and Metro Vancouver—and all those truly care for the environment—will see that Belkorp/Wastech, and their ilk, are driven by no more than simple greed. Ermes Culos Ashcroft

Time to stop illegal attack Editor: Open Letter to New Brunswick Premier David Alward: Re: Stop the illegal attack on the Mi’kmaq Elsipogtog blockade. Dear Premier Alward: While industry sells fracking as a “green transition fuel,” Prof. Robert Howarth from Cornell University (which studied the impacts of shale gas extraction), says it clearly: “The take-home message of our study is that if you do an integration of 20 years following the development of the gas, shale gas is worse than conventional gas and is, in fact, worse than coal and worse than oil.” Howarth said, “We are not advocating for more coal or oil, but rather to move to a truly green, renewable future as quickly as

Some choices are hard.

possible. We need to look at the true environmental consequences of shale gas.” (www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2011/04/fracking-leaksmay-make-gas-dirtier-coal) Premier Alward, fracking is a horror story of assaults on the environment. It depletes water resources, requiring 15 million-plus litres per frack (and a well can be fracked up to 10 times). It uses a toxic cocktail of chemicals to facilitate its intrusive process, polluting aquifers and poisoning humans and animals. It triggers seismic events in its rock-fracturing. And the natural gas extracted is mostly methane—100 times more climate-warming per volume than carbon dioxide. Fracking allows up to seven per cent of the gas to escape into our atmosphere. It is literally accelerating global warming. A number of doctors, including the the New Brunswick College of Family Physicians, have called for a moratorium on fracking. Various jurisdictions, including France, Quebec, and New York, currently have moratoriums on fracking. The more people know about fracking, the more they give pause to its use. The Mi’kmaq First Nations peoples, and their supporters and allies, are conducting a legal and peaceful protest and barricade to bring to bear their constitutional entitlement to be fully consulted in this industrial process in their traditional territories. I ask you, along with fellow Canadians here in Chilliwack, throughout B.C. and all over Canada: stop the illegal actions to attack and subdue the protesters. Call off the the RCMP and their illegal military aides from across the U.S. border. Do the right thing Premier Alward: consult with the Mi’kmaq. Wayne Froese Chilliwack

Double delight

Chiefs skid continues Team’s two wins fewest in the BCHL so far this season

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he University of the F r a s e r Va l l e y C a s cades golfers finished an incredible season last week in Quebec City with national championship titles for both the men and women. Led by Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls on the men’s side and Kelowna’s Jen Woods on the women’s, the teams dominated the three-round tournament winning by 12 and 24 strokes, respectively, over the secondplace teams. This is the first national championship for the PACWEST winning golfers in the first season of the women’s team’s existence. This was also the first double championship since Humber College pulled that off in 2007 in Castlegar. Coach Chris Bertram—who was named CCAA golf coach of the year at an awards banquet held before the tournament started—said he was proud of his golfers. “I am very proud of both teams, they were excellent a l l s e a s o n l o n g ,” B e r t ra m said. “Going undefeated is a great accomplishment.” The male Cascades had the only sub-par team score at -1, 12 strokes better than Humber College’s +11. Sardis secondary grad Pauls’ rounds of 70, 72 and a bogeyfree 69 at the Royal Golf Club of Quebec were enough for second place overall on the individual category. One stroke behind him in third was teammate Darren Whitehouse of Langley who carded 69, 72 and 71. Another Sardis secondary

Gudmundson’s rounds of 72, 70 and 74 were good enough for a tie for seventh individually. grad, Matt Gudmundson, shot rounds of 72, 70 and 74 to put him in a tie for seventh in the 76-man field. Rounding out the men’s team, Connor O’Dell finished in a tie for 33rd and Simon Blaker tied for 51st. The women’s total score of +29 was 24 strokes better than second place St. Clair College’s +53. Jen Woods’ rounds of 72, 73 and 80 were good enough for

second place on the individual leaderboard. Mission’s Dani Shap’s rounds of 81, 76 and 79 put her in third. Both Woods and Shap were named 2013 CCAA Golf AllCanadians before the tournament. Rounding out the Cascade women was Kelley Dalzell’s 82, 87 and 88, putting her in a respectable 15th in the 25-women field.

The only honours that escaped the Cascades in Quebec were the first-place individual scores. Valérie Tanguay of Champlain St. Lawrence stunned the women’s field with rounds of 67, 71 and 73 to put her at -5, 14 strokes ahead of Woods. On the men’s side, Colton Kalkanis of Georgian College similarly lit up the field with rounds of 68, 68 and 65 to finish at -15, 10 strokes up on Pauls.

hilliwack Chiefs goaltender Josh Halpenny saw a lot of rubber this weekend and he stopped almost 90 per cent of it. But despite stopping 55 shots out of the 61 he faced Friday night against the Cowichan Valley Capitals in Duncan, and despite a valiant come from behind effort by the team to tie the game in the third, the Chiefs lost 6-5. The Chiefs opened the scoring against the Capitals on a Brandon Volpe marker four minutes into the first, assisted by Jordan Kawaguchi and Blake Gober. Cow i c h a n Va l l e y t h e n s c o re d f i v e straight—three in the first, one in the second and the 5-1 goal at 4:15 of the third. The Chiefs then turned it on with goals from Jaret Babych, Cooper Rush and Kawaguchi, ending with one from Ben Butcher with just 25 second left in the game. But a goal by Capital Reilly O’Connor at 4:49 of the overtime period ended the seesaw game, leaving the Chiefs with just the single point. The Chiefs then headed down the Island Highway to face the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday at Bear Mountain Arena. Lyndon Stanwood started in net for the Chiefs, but halfway through the game, with three goals on 12 shots, Halpenny replaced him. Scoring started early on Saturday with a Grizzlies goal at 1:52 of the first followed by a power-play marker at 6:04. The Chiefs lost the game 6-2, with goals from Andrew Silard and Cooper Rush. Captain Austin Plevy earned a third star in Victoria and Kawaguchi got the same for his effort in Cowichan Valley. The two losses puts the team’s record to 2-8-1-2 with 13 games played, the fewest in the league. The Chiefs have three games in a row this weekend. First they play Cowichan Valley Friday at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre, followed by the Surrey Eagles on Saturday night at the same time. They then hit the road to play the Coquitlam Express at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

he Chilliwack Golf & Country Club has joined the ranks of B.C.’s most prestigious clubs, winning the 2013 PGA of BC Facility of the Year Award. The local club had been chosen as the Lower Mainland regional finalist, and was named facility of the year at the River Rock Resort in Richmond Wednesday, beating out Vancouver Island finalist Bear Mountain Golf Resort, North Kootenay finalist Copper Point Golf Club and Interior finalist Fairview Mountain Golf Club. “We are very honoured and humbled for being recognized as the Golf Facility of the Year,” Chilliwack Golf Club general manager, Bryan Ewart said. “Being recognized as the Lower Mainland representative was incredible enough and to now be recognized by the PGA of BC for the provincial award is very much an honour. Whenever you have such a strong list of nominees for an award such as this you don’t really know what to expect as to

the final outcome – it was a huge surprise to hear Chilliwack’s name as the winner.” To win the PGA of BC Facility of the Year Award, clubs must provide a “distinguished, impressive and remarkable golf experience to its membership and/or the golfing public,” be regarded as a first-class facility and have a record of hosting successful golf events. The Chilliwack Golf & Country Club, a semi-private facility established in 1958, hosted several key provincial championships in 2013, including the BC Senior Women’s Championship and the PGA of BC Assistants Championship. The club also holds the annual Chilliwack Men’s Open in July and the Chilliwack Women’s Open in September, two of the longest standing tournaments in the province. “This award is very much a team award and would not have been possible without the dedication of an amazing management and service team here at the club.” Ewart said.
